divided a surface by using the parts function- and divided the surface into sections- now when l attempt to select the section it only allows me to select it in elevation or plan but not 3D- and then when l do attempt to covert into a curtain wall- it does not allow me to convert - structural engineer here attempting to put into plan what l imagined a building could be....

If I read you correctly, you create parts from a wall and trying to convert parts to curtain wall panels? You can't. Below are a couple of suggested workflows:
Curtain walls: Draw them from scratch or select walls and change them to curtain walls. Play with divisions, mullion types and materials, panels types and materials.
Mass/divided surface: if your need complex/free forms for your designs. Strat from here:
Hi:
I have done a few of the online courses win revit- both the lynda and the BIM and the free online courses- but this being able to divide a curved wall and then place a curtain wall within the curved section of the wall eludes me...
How about you show us roughly what you are trying to do ? Post a screenshot or a rvt file of what you are doing

Hi Dr DR.
it is still the same design project- just unable to add the curtain walls where l want to place them. Yea... stumps me too.... used a two splines to generate a surface- then used the pick face - and tried to do what was in the video- but it doesn't want to work for me....revit just doesn't like me.... and l don't know why ![]()
It will work maybe you are just missing a step...After picking the Surface...So you did the following:
Right? that's what you did?

Hey DR.RD
thank you for taking the time- i think the difficulty in this is that l do not want the whole face of the structure to be a curtain wall only the sections at the thinnest x-section- and then only a certain distance from the centre point of the structure.
Here are the screen shots - you can see the reference plane l added at the distance from the centre- l did the steps that you listed - but it converted the complete wall into a curtain wall.
So, what l attempted to do seeing that l didn't want the entire face of the wall as a curtain wall- not practical and also the cooling cost would be astronomical- structure is not on the small size- was to divied the wall into sections- then select that section at the centre and convert just it to a curtain wall. then repeat for the other side, as a beginning-
if you can help- that would be excellent

You need to cut the first mass with a Void then nest a single surface to replace the cut...ie: you will have 2 Massed Surfaces...Watch the video again and take it slow (It is in the first 50 seconds of the video...
The problem of surfaces generated from a spline is that you cannot add edges to them

Dr.RD - my bad- let out a the most crucial step when cutting a void - OK so don't laugh too loud- the cut -
So- l now have the two walls with curtain walls- thanks for the patience and help
